How Did You Do That? (Closed)

Katie was mulling around the cafe again after what she considered to be a travesty at the tournament. In the days after, she had spent much time there. She had talked to no one about it. Briefly, telling her mother about it was considered, but she knew that her mother would tell her father about what she had learned about her abilities, prompting Dr. Leiden to try and 'study' her again. Her eyes stared at her glass. She didn't want to be someone else's lab rat or weapon. No, she would work for herself. She would become strong.

Her gaze lifted to spot someone she didn't know walk into the cafe. Wait, no, she looked familiar to Katie. A little too familiar. A brief image of a wicked grin flashed in her mind and a shudder ran through her body as she remembered hitting the wall and going blank, dying in the simulation. She hated to admit it, but Felicity scared her. People who were stronger than her scared her. It always made her think over why they hadn't killed everyone yet if their gift was so strong. Although Katie wouldn't exactly kill everyone with her power once it was sufficiently honed, but she could think of a few people that had wronged her.

However, she attempted to hide that she had noticed Felicity.

A heated argument between the speedster and the barista was in motion. The red head had her hands on her hips and narrowed eyes. It appeared that she was winning, however the barista held a mocking grin on his face paired with a brow raised. A low grumble came from the girl, and she slammed change on the counter then stalked off.

Red eyes scanned the place until they landed on Katie. There was a mixture of emotion on her face as she considered taking up the seat across from her. Following that, a flicker, then the red head appeared in front of Katie. "Hey! Blood girl right? Totally crash to see you here! How's things goin'?" The scowl from before washed away and was replaced with a large grin. "Oh--I still don't know your name. Here, let's trade. I'm Felicity." The speedster leaned back in the seat, placing a hand on her chest. The girl's speech pattern was fast, and almost as if she preferred shorter sentences because they made getting information across faster.

"Caitlyn Leiden... but call me Katie," the little blood girl told Felicity quietly, also not being much for words, a bad taste suddenly stinking up her mouth. She didn't quite understand why the speedster was so happy. Was it because of her victory? Katie, being only thirteen, took the whole thing too personally and was still upset.

Felicity gave the younger girl a curt nod. "Got it, Katie." She prides herself in her ability to remember names. There hasn't been a name she has forgotten...yet. The red haired girl tilted her head back to the side, making sure her drink hasn't been finished quite yet. Satisfied, she turned back around to face Katie. "Are you usually this quiet? Just curious. I'm always the one to carry on one sided conversations with people."

"I don't usually talk much, yes. There isn't much to talk about usually." Katie said, taking a sip of hot cocoa immediately after. She silently relished the flavor. It reminded her of the little time she had gotten to spend with her mother when she lived at home, of a time before Beata and superpowered children like her. "I don't know much about you, so... we could start there, if you want."
